We’re going to have injuries, form slumps, the need to rest players throughout the season. Weideman will get his chance and maybe with the added pressure he’ll become the player we all want to see.
In the current climate of course her appointment will have an element of being “about woman”. Remember woman have been playing second fiddle to a lot of seriously incompetent men for a long long time. She sounds like a good operator and that’s what we need.
If our worst problem remains whether to play Melksham or Sparrow I’m a happy man. I would of given him a week at Casey but I’m a furniture maker not a selector.
Weideman played a chunk of good footy last year despite the obvious difficulties. He’s 6-8 weeks away from finding form after an injury. One bad half is hardly reason to start bagging him out. Chill folks if he and Brown can get up and about we’ll go deep
I’m not playing Melksham till he’s showed something more like his best. He’s got 2 years of poor footy to pay us back for, he can start that journey at Casey
I’m leaving Jetta in, one poor game is hardly a disaster. I’d take him over Lockhart any day. Let’s wait till they’re banging the door down. Hibberd needs some game time as does Melksham. The first change will be getting Brown or Weideman into the team, possibly for the Richmond game if one of them can have 2 good weeks.
Hibberd perhaps over Jetta if fit
cant see why you’d take Sparrow out
TMac needs an 8 mark, 4 goal game to get his confidence going. He’s playing average to poor football for so long his confidence is shot.
